Employees of the military plant "Terem-Khan Krum" in Targovishte have once again protested, demanding to receive their salaries for January and February. They also want to find out what is the strategy for the development of the plant, as there is no position on this matter from the company's principal, "Terem Holding", or the plant‘s owner- the Ministry of Defense. The workers are uncertain about their jobs, and the orders in the plant are not enough to ensure full workload.

"The protest is not political. We receive the minimum wage once every two months. Some are striking for a salary increase, while we are striking just to get them", said Krasimir Stoichkov, Chairman of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria at Terem-Khan Krum.

"Terem-Khan Krum," part of the state owned company "Terem Holding", is a strategic enterprise for the repair and maintenance of tanks and armored vehicles.
